Ok, computer geiuses...I need help

you can make a system restore to overcome the effect of that virus....if that failed then i think formatting is the best way! for sure that if you don't want to install any antivirus

AVG Anti-Virus is free and pretty good if you ask me. It does it's job and it'll fix it errors without asking you to buy the extra features every 5 minutes like the other anti-virus'. You should also clean your disk up using scan disk, defragment, etc. If that doesn't help speed up your computer, you should consider reformatting. I think it's a good idea to reformat every couple of months, it doesn't take long and you can easily back up your data before you do it.

I would download a free trial of an antivirus - McAfee has one available http://us.mcafee.com/root/downloads.asp?id=freeTrials or try to find a free service. I was using AVG but they recently went pay only. I think AVAST is still free though. I wouldn't wipe out your HD and start from scratch unless you needed to - and you know where all of your software is. I am really starting to think that MyLot is the source of some viruses. I had stopped mylotting for a few days, no viruses, I started again and I have gotten a few viruses.

First thing you need to do, since it is being infected, I assume it is severely infected, is reformat your computer. But before you do, be sure to back everything up. Now to back-up using copy and paste be sure to use the command line (DOS prompt), this way virus cannot populate to your destination folder. With regards to your anti-virus software, money is not an issue. You can try using AVAST Home Edition, it is totally free of charge. You can use it for 30 days, and if you like the features, just register your email account and the admin will give you the free activation key. AVAST have 7 engines running to prevent your system, each have different phase of security. You can even restrict sites there. Now, you have reformat and install the fresh copy of your Operating System, be sure to install anti-virus first above everything else. Then restore you back-up files.

You need to format your computer fully. Keep all your important data in one drive and format the other drive where all the system files are being stored. If you are really interested in doing what mentioned above, you have to tell me the details that do you have a pirated version of operating system or the original version? Which operating system do you have? You can ask me other questions if you have. Another option is that you can actually download the antivirus software with the key. If in your country p2p is allowed then you can search the anti virus software on isohunt.com. If you need any help contact me.

You can download kaspersky trial version. Probably your virus signature is included in the kaspersky, if that's the case kaspersky will delete the virus. But since you don't have license, you cannot update your anti virus. I'm using kaspersky and it's keeping my pc safe from malwares so far.

you can download a free antivirus program I would do this from a friends computer and copy it to a memory stick or CD or what ever. then go and install the anti-virus program on your computer and scan your system and clean it. AVG is a good program. I would recomend that you keep a good and updated Anti-Virus program on your computer at all times

Hello :) I'm a student of Information Technology and in my Intro to Information Tech class we are going over the Internet and part of our chapter includes a part on Adware,spyware and malware. First i'm going to recommned a couple of FREE spyware removal tools, they are safe and free to download and they are recommended in my text book. First is Spybot-Search&Destroy which is available at download.com also Pestpatrol which is available for download at pestpatrol.com They are both free and easy to use. If this does not work you can restore your computer to factory settings. I noticed earlier you said your computer has no restore points..that is fine. Factory restore can be accessed right when you boot your computer by pressing a specific function key such as F1 and so forth. Each computer is different. If you do have to factory restore your computer please tell me what type of computer you have and i can find out what function key for you to hit. Factory restore should be your last choice because it wipes your computer and makes it as if you just bought it..nothing you've installed yourself, files you've saved will be there when your done..so i recommend a flash drive to store any files you don't want to lose. After you fix this problem and your computer is running normal again, if you have the money go buy an antivirus software such as Nortons, If you don't i'll help you find a free antivirus software on the web. Hope everything works out.

Well once your PC gets infected with viruses, it is nearly impossible to cure it as virus nowadays spread really fast. So, you can do nothing but to re-format your PC. It will restore your PC to the previous condition. You will have to re-install all your drivers, programs and the data will be lost, so make a back-up of your files. Moreover, get a free virus program such as AVG Free, Avira Anti-Virus or Avast as soon as you re-format. Then use torrent to download Norton or some other anti-virus for FREE! This will keep your computer safe. Cheers! AJ Rox.

You don't need money to get yourself a good antivirus system. There are several that are available for free on the internet (yes, legally). The one I use which seems good is the free version of AVG. I would also install Spybot also free) as well to take care of spyware. As far as fixing your current problem, you're going to have to reformat your hard disk and start from scratch. All of your files will be lost, but you can re-install them and have a running computer again, without buying a new one.

Well the best way to fix that Is you use The latest Nod32 because this software is really good for anti virus like Trojan or any other else.I really recommend you this but if it still not working by nod then you better reformat.:-0 God bless and have a nice day.:-0

format and then restore the system

i have a few suggestions, you can try search and destroy anti virus, nod32 comando firewall

Download prevx csi free.Scan will take about 2 minutes.

I hate to say this but I think buying a good virus software is a little like buying car/home/life insurance - you hate to pay for it but you are sure glad when you need it! I had so many problems and thought we needed a new computer,then I got antivirus, spyware and ran cr cleaner (that one is free) and everything is pretty good now.

Hello there my friend. I worked as technical support for dell before so I should this kind of stuff lol. Installing an anti-virus program at this point will not do you any good because it's already infected. The only thing you could do is re-format your hard drive. This will wipe it everything in it including the virus. Before you do this, you must have a CD/DVD burner to back up all the files in it. Reformatting the hard drive will take at least 30 minutes to an hour depending upon the performance of your PC (not including the time for backing up your files). After reinstalling your Operating System, that's the time you can download and install a free anti virus program. A few that you can try is Kaspersky, Nod32, or AVG. You can try to download it from http://www.download.com

hi friend, i understand yourself. you just download a free antivirus in net and then install to your computer.take care.

Good Morning my MyLot Friend. This is a disscusion I can help you with. I use AVG on my computer. It has all the up to date virus and trojan ware. Go to its wed site. AVG.com and download the free version. I have no problem with this antivirus. It scans pages before you open and after you open and removes the virus. Also it scans all emails for viruses. I have downloaded this on to all my friends computers. Also our local cable internet company also uses it and askes that all its customers download it too.

download the Avg 8.0 free.. its quite capable in bad viruses. maybe you were infected by backdoor, trojans, or worms, makes your computer slower..

Ya you can do one thing is that go to some torrent site, search for the antivirus you need, download it with torrent downloader, install and update. And then you are ready with your weapon to kill all of them....
